Tooth Shift for Non circular gears
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2025 1:43 pm
Hi All:
This is a response to a user who desires a way to shift the tooth of an elliptical gear pair so the
tooth is half shifted so instead of a tooth, a space appears at start of tooth generation on either gear.
This file https://gearotic.com/GearoticToothShift.zip
has a checkbox labeled SHIFT under the pressure angle setting. It will shift the created toothing profiles by 1/2 tooth.
I wont release this in the general release for a bit as Gearotic is quite old, most bugs are gone and I dont want to introduce
any. Let me know if it helps, To use, unzip the file into your Gearotic folder, it will replace the Gearotic's executable.
Regards
Art
